  1. Forced to another shift when I have seniority

    northern_RN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  2. Forced to another shift when I have seniority

    northern_RN replied to northern_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I filled out an employee incident. What happened is a resident fell on me when I answered the alarm and my knee twisted some and hurt a little that night. I filled out the form in case it really...

  4. Forced to another shift when I have seniority

    northern_RN replied to northern_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Im actually considering letting her be a B**ch, with just me in the room but have a tape recorder running on my phone. When she says she didn't say that, I have proof she did. I know she will not...

  5. Forced to another shift when I have seniority

    northern_RN replied to northern_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks everyone for your comments. I meet with her in 4 hours. I have written down my points on why this change does not work for me to start with. If that is not enough to get her to back down, I...

  6. Need career guidance from experienced pro's

    northern_RN replied to bucfan's topic in Nursing Career

    First I would get some RN nursing experience in. When the hospital or others in your area are looking for a HR person or nurse manager look into it. I think it would be ideal if hospitals used nurses...

  7. Past job ruining chance of new job

    northern_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a question regarding my past employment as a CNA coming back to haunt me. Situation is before going to nursing school I was a CNA/CMA for about 4 or 5 yrs at a LTC facility. When I was working...

  8. Past job ruining chance of new job

    northern_RN replied to northern_RN's topic in General Nursing

    When you say eligible for rehire, what do you mean? I didn't do anything bad, I quit. However they will not hire me again. So can they state that they would not hire me again? Or would it have to be...

    northern_RN replied to considerthelilies's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the friend that works in nursing law. You followed the procedures in place at that practice, you didn't do anything wrong. Good

  10. Narcotics Documentation

    northern_RN replied to considerthelilies's topic in General Nursing

    What do you mean you will lose your license over this? I understand that you gave meds that were not documented correctly due to that facilities charting policies however YOU are the one that reported...

  11. Attention New Grads- Pinning Ceremony Question

    northern_RN replied to Ready2GradMay09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just an idea out there for pinning. Our nursing instructor instilled in us for the pinning it is her honor to pin us as in she is passing on the profession. She said that as nursing students we were...

  12. Grad in June - Who to invite and how???

    northern_RN replied to gelousstudent's topic in General Students

    I agree with deadhead, this is your day to celebrate and don't invite anyone that would ruin that for you. I would say a small celebration for 10 or less people that really supported you would would...

  13. What makes a bad nurse?

    northern_RN replied to cpo_one's topic in General Students

    I would say a bad nurse is one who doesn't really care about patients but is there for a job and to do as little as possible. That and RNs that think care partners or LPNs are below them and treat...

  14. I gave too much morphine... please read and advise

    northern_RN replied to man23SN's topic in General Students

    I agree with all the above posts. Nothing was done wrong to warrant a report since the order said up to 10. However I feel the nurse was saving her own butt. With narcotics she should have been there...

  15. Nclex passing rate of 74.8%

    northern_RN replied to 987!'s topic in General Students

    I agree with the above posts. Schools need to keep pass rates up to stay out of trouble with the state board of nursing. I wouldnt go as far as to say you shouldn't attend that school. My guess is...

  16. Just want to Vent

    northern_RN replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    I hear you. When I did PN program it was like the instructors were out to make you feel incompetent in hopes you would drop out and they wouldn't have to deal with teaching you. I found clinical...

  17. what do you wish you knew back then??

    northern_RN replied to NurseTeacher1's topic in General Students

    That your fellow students can be great lifelong friends and others will be complete annoyances. Be very careful what you share of your personal life with fellow students, if they think it will earn...

  18. Help!!! Can they really do this??? Does anyone know???

    northern_RN replied to AnnieMae*'s topic in General Students

    Unforunately many schools do this to keep their percentage of graduating students that pass boards up. The board of nursing in the state looks at graduating rates against passing board rates. If a...

    The predictor test is exactly like the other ATI tests, five questions on each page unless they change it this year. Most of the questions will be pick one of four answers. Remember ABCs when...

  20. ATI testing....whos taken the 2008 ati LVN exam?

    northern_RN replied to moniquemarie24's topic in General Students

    I have not taken the 2008 but have done the 2007. I can't remember any specifics except that it's long like 180 questions. To help you I decided to go to ATI and look at my result for the test. The...

  21. ATI Predictor...

    northern_RN replied to May2009's topic in General Students

    The ATI predictor is pretty good at determining who will do well on NCLEX. Since you scored 88% chance of passing I don't think you should have anything to worry about. If you noticed the ATI have...
